i was supposed to see them at alpine on the 03 tour, i believe. tits seats... like corporate or something. but the young lady that invited me had a visitor come in and he go to go instead. so then i talked my buddies into going lawn but it was one of our friends birthdays and he put up the most pathetic bitchfest saying he wanted to go to the bars instead of a concert and he would be so hurt by us going to see pj. i couldnt fucking believe it.

then i almost saw them on the vfc tour... but it didnt work out.

needless to say, i have yet to see them live and it kills me.

What is weird about Pearl Jam is that I have seen them twice and each time I left feeling satisfied, like I did not need to see another PJ show. They just seem to really enjoy putting on a show.

I love DMB but they are just in a whole other stratosphere.

Great point. I have seen them far less then DMB and for some reason after every show you get that feeling. Listening to every show you get that impression also. That they enjoy each one, go all out for each one, and make each one unique.

The also play so many songs you feel as if they played most of what you wanted to hear, even if you did not one or two specific songs you wanted going in to the concert. When it is over it does not matter. After seeing DMB 15 times, that feeling has only happened 3 times, each one of those shows included Bela Fleck.

I've listened to pj for a long time now, but I've never been to/seen a show. What DVD would you guys recommend for a first show to see?

Touring Band 2000 by far. Live at the Garden is good but more a snapshot of that part of the tour. Touring band 2000 is crazy good.

I saw PJ for the first time in July of '95 at the height of their battle with Ticketmaster. Tough ticket because of the low number of concerts that year and it was just a terrific concert.
